Trump is trying to end Lisa Murkowski's Senate career, but Alaska's new ranked choice voting may well save her. Plus, focus group participants keep bringing up abortion, and another Alaskan, Sarah Palin, is attempting a political comeback.

Bill Kristol joins Sarah this week—and yes, he talks about his “wishful thinking” in 2008.
